Excerpt from Origins of the Great War: Or the British Case The War and its origins have been treated of from many different points of view, notably by the instructive "Why we are at War" (Clarendon Press, Oxford) and by the excellent Oxford Pamphlets, but, in all its essentials, the British Case as here submitted is short and simple. In a court of law Germany would probably be held to have "no case", yet she still protests and appeals to neutrals so persistently that she surely "protests too much." Qui s'excuse s'accuse. While the following pages were in the press confirmations of their accuracy have been almost daily coming to light. Thus, in the Times of 9th December, appears a notice of the sixth Report of the Belgian Commission on the violations of international law by the Germans. Like its predecessors, this report proves to the hilt that the wholesale massacres of innocent civilians, women, and children, the pillage and destruction of open towns and villages, and other outrages were deliberately planned and ruthlessly carried out. It forms a complete answer, borne out by abundance of other evidence, to the assertion by twenty-two German Universities that no atrocities were committed by the German troops!
